Might make her really drowsy...but not an overdose...Health Question & Answer

Is it 15 ml or 15 mg.? The bad part is the tylenol that is in each pill or ml if it is liquid. If she took 5 mg tablets, each tablet would probably have 500 mg of tylenol. You should never take more than 4000 mg of tylenol in a 24 hour period. So if she took 6 five milligram pills that would be 3000 mg of tylenol. Not good especially if this happens very often. So yes it's bad but probably not fatal. If she goes to sleep just keep an eye on her and make sure she's still breathing if your worried. Health Question & Answer

that's generic for vicodin. that's not that much. i take the pill form. she'll be tired. she can't do it again. V is also addicting. yes there is something like tylenol in with it. in my pill form it looks like this on the bottle. 10/500. the 10 is the hard stuff and the 100 is the tylenol type stuff. also sounds like she can't take pills if she is taking the liquid. my daughter took the liquid when she had her toncills removed at 18.Health Question & Answer

She will be fine,, .she is not going to feel any different than she would of with one,,, plus I doubt she is suppose to take 15mg every 4 hours,, that's not how hydrocodone is dosed,,, it's probably 10mg four times a day if it says lortab,, it doesn't come in a 15mg pill.

And trust her doctor more than anything you read here about the worries of her becoming addicted,,, MOST people that take them for pain never have an addiction problem,,, It is a great pain medication that is sometimes abused,,, like a lot of drugs.

I've been taking them for 2/3's of your life
